Rapper and business mogul Jay-Z has added yet another artist to his fast growing, star studded team!

Put your diamonds in the sky for M.I.A. — she’s just signed a deal with Jay’s management company Roc Nation!!!

M.I.A. joins Hov’s long list of artists under his management co., including

We know he'd rather be behind the camera, but this is still good news!

Jon Favreau closed a deal with Marvel Studios to return as Happy Hogan, Iron Man's endearingly loyal driver!

Favreau directed the first two films but abandoned ship to direct Disney's Magic Kingdom which is

Cash has been counted:

MIB3 made $1.5 million on Wednesday’s midnight showings!!

Sony Pictures expects it to top at LEAST $80 mil over the four day weekend.

This certainly confirms our suspicions, the reinvigorated Will Smith franchise will push aside The Avengers to become the new king of the hill!

Execs are optimistic for the weekend numbers because entire families are especially likely to hit the theater en masse on Memorial Day.

Is it already time to talk MIB4!

Do U agree with director Barry Sonnenfeld, who wants Jaden to take over the franchise in his Daddy's place??

Here come the Men in Black!

After spending a month on top, it looks like Joss Whedon’s Avengers will pass the top-earner torch to a trio of more inconspicuously dressed galaxy defenders.

Men in Black 3 is expected to earn around $100 million this weekend, and that would almost assuredly dethrone Robert Downey Jr. and his Super Friends.

Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and newcomer Josh Brolin should all be very proud — there aren’t too many big budget franchises that can take a decade long break between sequels and still find great success.

The Fresh Prince should be especially thrilled, though

The scrubs over at the Honda dealership got no love for T-Boz!

The TLC rapstress is being sued by Honda for failing to make payments on her 2005 Honda Odyssey. YIKES!

T-Boz (aka Tionne Watkins) filed for bankruptcy last year but failed to complete the required paperwork. As a result, she lost the protection bankruptcy provides. We told her "don't go chasing waterfalls, finish your paperwork first!" but she just didn't listen! LOL!

Sounds like Boz, Chilli and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes' hologram need to start selling tickets for their reunion tour ASAP!

That, OR Mz. Watkins can pawn that LV purse she's carrying (above)!

Color us shocked!

Even John Malkovich has hopped on the celebrity commercial train for Apple!!

In their newest ad, the eloquent Malkovich ponders the meaning of life with Siri.

Definitely the sweetest thing about the iPhone 4, Siri totally owns the key to the universe. Just check out her answer (above)!!

And THEN… to calm your brain of such intellectual gab, watch him joke with her …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Everyone has a bad day once in a while, but not many people can say that their bad days involve the most heinous of crimes:

A stolen Starbucks gold card.

LOLz!

Nevermind the fact that Chad Ochocinco had his wallet, credit cards, license and iPod stolen when someone broke into his SUV. He is straight up PISSED about his Starbucks gold card!

While the whole situation sucks, and the person who broke into the car sucks, we can help but feel happy about Chad's positivity about the situation.

Plus we find his reaction hilarious!

Check out his vid (above)!

UPDATE: Ochocinco tweeted that the mother of one of his followers had found the wallet in Providence. It had ALL of his credit cards and his license... but the Starbucks gold card was missing.

THOSE BITCHES. LOLz!

Starbucks reached out to him via Twitter and agreed to replace his gold card, so everything worked out in the end.

Woo!
